I produced a mythical creature called the 'Burak' I first used a small plastic Giraffe as the base/structure of his body, I then covered the giraffe out of pink plasticine to make my creature bigger and taller, I then moulded his head into a human face, then added peacock feathers to his bum, as a tail. I then painted my plasticine model with brown paint and craft PVA glue so it would stick to the plasticine better. This was quite time consuming, but I got there in the end.
I also created my other model, the "Ass with three legs". I used a plastic male sheep's body as the base, then again covered the whole of it in plasticine and painted him white with paint and PVA glue which I then moved on to mould his face with big ears and a horn sticking out of his head.

I had an after effects workshop, which i learned a variety of things to do after I had completed my animation, for instance, I could adjust things using a format called 'photoshop' and a format called 'illustrator'. I can also add sound if I chose to. These formats also allow me to rearrange layers and edit scenes that I may not wish to use and lots more as well.
I also did a few sketches in my sketchbook and started to plan my storyboard.
Wednesday 26th September
I created various background scenes for my animation on A2 sheets of paper, using watercolour paints. My background themes are:
- Sky and clouds
- Jungle/Forest
- Cave Exterior
- Cave Interior
Friday 28th September
Completed making 'Burak' and then added 6 googly eyes and a horn made out of tissue paper and 9 mouths used from red plasticine to my 'Three legged Ass'.
Discussion Forum 1
At 3 'o' clock, we had a discussion on the state of illustration, which was an audio/radio discussion. My opinion towards this is that I found illustration and fine art are both very similar. I also found out that illuminating art is like telling a story. I think the state of illustration discussion didn't really answer the question, as the artists just went off in their own worlds.
They also talk about many different forms that are included in illustration, like animation, photography, painting and collaging etc. There are also many ways now to show your work during this era, like youtube, facebook, the internet in general as well as galleries and exhibitions, as this time 5 years ago, we did not have access to all of this new digital media.
Saturday 29th September
Started to make paper 3D model trees, which I also painted and used a small squishy ball to give the effect of the leaves on the top of the trees.
Here is an image of my trees in action, ready for filming.
Sunday 30th September
Finished off a few of my backgrounds and research animation, looking at a book called, "Animation Now!" by Anima Mundi, edited by Julius Wiedemann.
